Chapter 30: The Night Of The Setting Full Moon (4)
<b>ą¼ŗ The Night Of The Setting Full Moon (4) ą¼»</b>
āWe are ready to go, My Lady.ā
āGood.ā
A new morning dawned upon her, as the events of the last night were still engraved on her memory.
Facing the dawn of a new day, Yuriel got in her carriage and headed to the Imperial Academy.
āLast night suckedā¦.ā
Leaning her head comfortably on the carriageās window, Yuriel closed her eyes.
<b>That was the worst birthday ever.</b>
<b>Why does that man have to show up and destroy our joyous celebrationā¦.</b>
āEuphemia El Lauren Louerg, huh?ā
Letting out a faint sigh, Yuriel crossed her arms.
The glass window of the carriage reflected her fair face.
āThereās no way that lowly Louerg family, who live in the middle of a frozen land, would be worthier than Alfred.ā
A long time ago, on the day her engagement was canceled.
<b>I wondered how such a vainglorious and egotistical man would ever manage to marry someoneā¦..</b>
āTskā¦why am I even annoyed by this!?ā
<b>Not that I still have feelings for him or anything, but isnāt it just plain rude of him to cancel our engagement and marry a random country-bumpkin girlā¦ā¦?</b>
If you asked someone, they would tell you that Euphemia wasnāt an ugly woman. However, she wasnāt a beauty either.
In a word, her beauty lingered in the realm of ānormalcyā.
But Ferzen was not obsessed with her appearance.
Ferzen was drawn to her perfect charm, something only he could understand.
āI donāt like it.ā
<b>I wanted to meet this woman, so I sent her an invitation to a tea party, but I didnāt receive a reply.</b>
āAt least she is not uselessā¦.ā
Certain rumors are circulating that she designed the unique desks in Ferzenās classroom.
<b>I canāt get that painting out of my head, no matter how much I try to forget it. I canāt believe that man could love someone so much.</b>
āā¦ā¦ā
The same man who would probably die with a cold face just to maintain his dignityā¦ā¦
Was smiling like a fool while looking at his wife.
<b>I still canāt believe it.</b>
Creak.
āAhā¦ā¦ā
As Yuriel was immersed in her thoughts, her carriage had parked behind the Administrative Building of the Academy.
And as she got out of her carriage, she saw a familiar crest not so far away.
āWhy is he here when he doesnāt have any lectures todayā¦.ā
Or is he just here to deal with some trivial errands?
āHmpfā¦..ā
Itās not like I care about what he does anyway.
Deciding to forget about Ferzen, Yuriel proceeded towards her personal office as her lustrous black hair tied in a ponytail swung behind her.
* * * * * * * * * *
āThat should do itā¦.ā
After scribbling with the pen enough times for today, I organized my papers.
The plans for my public presentation, which will be held soon, and also the materials for my future classes.
Although, as a professor, I shouldnāt have to prepare all of this by myself, the simple thought of me receiving or even giving an asymmetrical form⦠was distasteful, to say the least.
And after delivering those papers to the administrative committee, I planned to return to my mansion since all of my business for today would be completed.
Click-clack.
Click-clack.
As I strolled down the ramp, which was more comfortable to walk through than the stairs, I heard the heels of a woman near me.
Since I am on the fourth floor of the Administrative Building, itās probably a professor.
Click-clack.
I paused for a moment when the owner of those footsteps made herself visible.
āā¦ā¦ā
Unlike usual, Yurial wasnāt wearing the traditional wizard garb but a white blouse combed with a black skirt that reached her knees.
āHey you, just say hello or nod with your head. Donāt just freeze when you see someone. Itās bothersome.ā
I havenāt even said anything or done anything to youā¦.yet.
And the first thing you do when you see me is to start bickering with me.
āIs it that time of the monthā¦.?ā
Hmm, she is certainly on edge today, so itās possible.
āHey, you pervert, why are you gawking at my belly?ā
āSince you are particularly annoyed today, I thought it mustāve been that time of the month for you.ā
āWhaā¦.. I canāt believe thisā¦!ā
āIf it isnāt, then explain it to me. Why are you annoying me first thing in the morning? Are you in such a desperate need of attention?ā
āAhā¦..ā
As I stared at her, Yuriel flinched and lowered her head, probably because she had nothing to say to me.
āSighā¦..Thatās enough. Itās becoming tiresome to even talk to you.ā
Sighing, Ferzen passed by the still frozen woman and went down to the first floor of the Administrative Building ā the department office.
āAlphonse, my next two lectures shall be held in the auditorium. And this time, some outsiders are also allowed to attend, so please make sure the layout of the auditorium follows these instructionsā¦. Also, post a notice on the dorms, so my students know the lecture will be held in the auditorium.ā
āAh?ā¦..Yes sir! Leave it to me, Professor!ā
With this, my business was concluded, so I left the department office and the Administrative Buildingā¦..
Thud!
āOhā¦ā¦ā
However, as soon as I turned the corner, I collided with a wheelchair.
āā¦ā¦ā
What an unpleasant day.
As I looked down at the only student who used a wheelchair <b>ā Lizzy ā</b> I saw her dumbfounded face.
Flinch!
Then like a fearful dog with its tail curled back, she growled.
Lizzy raised her head and opened her mouth, letting out a pathetic, trembling voice.
āThatā¦..we both were in the wrongā¦.ā
Since I didnāt pay attention, it could be said that I was also at fault.
āSo⦠if youāll excuse meā¦.. please stand asideā¦ā¦.ā
Squeak.
Squeak.
Lizzy then instructed her corpse servant to push her wheelchair, but as I didnāt vacate the hallway just yet, her knees brushed past my leg.
Rather than passing by as a defiant person, this act only seemed like the pitiful growls of a fearful dog.
And so I made way for Lizzy.
Then Lizzy continued to be pushed by her corpse servant as the squeaky sounds of her wheelchair echoed in the hallway.
āā¦ā¦ā
Looking at her back, I was momentarily lost in my thoughts.
āHmā¦.. her backbone improved a little.ā
Because of the past incident, I half expected Lizzy to break down once again, but she didnāt.
āNo, thatās not itā¦.ā
We werenāt alone this time.
She maybe would have panicked if we were truly alone, but as I moved to the parking lot behind the Administrative Building, I concluded that she managed to stay relatively fine because of the influx of people around the building.
* * * * * * * * * *
Today, March 9th, marked the second week after the entrance ceremony.
At 5 PM, when all lectures were over, Laura didnāt return to her room at the Academyās dorms.
She had already received permission to leave the dorms for tonight.
Yes, it wasnāt a simple leave.
It was a night out.
Laura had no intention of being in the Academy for this night.
āWaoā¦.ā
Before the sunset, Laura was already inside a luxurious hotel, which she reserved in advance, and she thoroughly locked the door.
Today was Lauraās 17th birthday.
<b>This day has finally arrived.</b>
It was her birthday and also the day when the full moon would rise.
Could it be a coincidence?
āIt could be a coincidence, butā¦..ā
Laura couldnāt rid herself of her anxious feelings.
A body where the Genova bloodline wasnāt present.
So there was nothing to worry about.
She didnāt carry the curse anymore, so surely, there wonāt be a psychotic episode.
āIā¦..Do-donāt have itā¦An-nymore⦠soā¦. so⦠eve-verything is go-going to be fi-fine.ā
Sitting down on the cold hard floor, Laura hugged her knees as she whispered those same words over and over again, as if she was trying to hypnotize herself.
And just like that, the sun gradually faded as darkness engulfed the Imperial Capital.
It wasnāt long before she started to have seizures.
One of the main reasons why Laura dreaded this day was because, no matter what she did, she would never be able to avoid the curse.
Even when one was drugged or knocked out.
Even when your body is on the brink of a collapse from not having any sort of food or water for days.
The moment those seizures start, the body goes into a state of extreme arousal and hyperactivity, and no matter what, you wonāt feel tired or lose consciousness.
Even if you cut your body into pieces.
You will simply die because you wonāt be able to fulfill the curse.
Even if you lock yourself in a solitary prison with no way out.
The curse then will demand that you fulfill it by breaking your own body instead of others.
The curse of the full moon, passed down to all of those who shared the blood of the Genova Household, was terrifying.
The only way to break the curse is death.
Only thatā¦..
As Lauraās body continued to tremble, the setting sun had disappeared entirely.
And now, in the starry sky, the full moon emerged.
āAhā¦.Noā¦..Noā¦.Noā¦Pl-pleaseā¦.!ā
At that moment, her fears reached a dangerous peak.
Laura grabbed her chest as she felt a small amount of pain start to flare up, causing her body to tremble even more as her breath became unsteady.
āUghā¦..!ā
At first, the scared girl wondered if that pain was caused because her heart was beating too fast.
But that wasnāt the cause of her pain.
āHaā¦ā¦!ā
Like a fever, her body then began to get dangerously hot.
She felt an extreme feeling of thirst.
So Laura staggered to a nearby counter, grabbed a bottle of water, and drank the whole bottle in one go.
Gulp!
Water leaked from her mouth, traveling down her chin and neck, dampening her clothes.
Gulp!
Gulp!
But no matter how much she drank, her thirst could not be quenched.
Dreeeench!
So Laura grabbed another bottle, opened it, and poured it down into her whole body.
The now wet dress was glued to her skin and glimmered faintly.
āHaā¦..Haā¦ā¦Haā¦..ā
Soon afterwards, the cold breeze of the night clashed against her soaked body, but the heat didnāt fade away.
Then Laura moved towards the windows as if she was drawn to them.
āItās fineā¦.Everything is going to be fineā¦..ā
When the curse activates, the bodyās impulses go out of control.
<b>But I donāt feel it.</b>
The current state of her body was exactly the same as before the curse activation, but she was still in controlā¦ā¦
āIt has to be some sort of hallucinationā¦. or phantasmal pain.ā
Grabbing her throbbing head, Lauraās breath hastened.
Then suddenly, she looked up at the night sky.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
The full moon was obscured by the clouds.
Seeing this, Laura clenched her fists.
āNoā¦ā¦Itāsā¦ā¦ā
Since the Genova clanās curse was closely connected with the full moon, those impulses were lessened when the full moon was temporarily covered by the clouds.
āNoā¦.Everything is going to be fineā¦.. itās going to be fineā¦..ā
The shivering girl constantly whispered those words while trying to hold on to the last shimmer of hope.
So Laura waited anxiously.
Soon the clouds that were obscuring the moon passed by, and a portion of the moon became visible to her.
āAhā¦ā¦.ā
The heat in her body soared as a powerful urge to kill clouded her mind.
Laura looked at those people walking on the streetā¦..
A caring mother holding her childās hand while smiling softly.
ā <b>What if I open that womanās belly and put her child in there⦠Oh, I can even strangle the kid with her motherās intestinesā¦</b>
A pair of lovers hugging affectionately.
ā <b>Ahhh, I want to twist her body, squeeze all of her blood, then mince her flesh⦠Ahhh, then I could make him devour her fufuā¦ā¦</b>
āUghā!ā
When those twisted desires flooded her mind, Laura vomited immediately.
Wasnāt the curse of the Genova something carried by their bloodline, but could it be something engraved on their very souls?
All her fears were once again confirmed, and Lauraās body began trembling, butā¦.
Soon, her fears were replaced by something else.
āAhā¦..Noā¦ā¦ā
As the full moon, once obscured by clouds, was gradually revealed.
The thought of torturing and killing those people was enough to bring Laura an intense orgasm.
The curse had awakenedā¦ā¦
And the effects had started to show themselves.
The curse granted one heavenly pleasure as they fulfilled the most twisted and corrupted deeds.
āAhā¦.Haā¦..Haā¦..!ā
Twisting her body, Laura barely managed to get up as she grabbed the doorknob and turned it.
At least Laura was grateful that her particular desire of defiling and killing those who held goodwill for her didnāt appear.
And so, with the remaining reason she had left, Laura decidedā¦..
She would leave the Imperial Capital and move to the outskirts.
At least there, she could find those who deserved to die.
Creak!
Yesā¦. she would rip and tear them apart.
* * * * * * * * * *
āHave a good night, My Lord!ā
What a shame.
I had to stop by the Association for a while, so I thought that maybe the portrait would have been ready by now, but it seems I was mistaken.
Even though four days had already passed.
āI should have ordered a simple watercolor painting instead of an oil oneā¦..ā
With this meaningless sense of regret, I walked out of the atelier.
As Ferzen was walking towards his carriage, carefully avoiding any uneven tiles.
Craashāā!
But a woman in a long robe crashed into him as she ran quickly, stomping on his left footā¦..
Thuuud!
Her fall was so thunderous that people all around the street turned their attention to her.
āā¦ā¦ā
Whether because of her shame or because she was distracted, the woman got up with trembling legs and continued to run towards the other side of the street, without even apologizing for her mistake.
I wondered what kind of crazy woman she could be.
Perhaps she tried to pickpocket me?
Just to be sure, I tapped my pockets, but all my personal items were still there.
The fact that she left without even apologizing was quite rude, but I didnāt want to stand in this crowded street any longer, so I boarded my carriage.
Creak!
āā¦ā¦ā
āMy Lord, are we returning to the mansion?ā
āNoā¦.Not yet.ā
Shaking my head at the coachmanās words, I touched my throbbing forehead and got off the carriage as I rolled up my sleeves.
āYou can go back for now. I have an urgent business to attend to.ā
āYes?ā¦.. As you wish, My Lord.ā
āAlso, inform Euphemia to eat dinner and go to bed. There is no need to wait for me.ā
āIt shall be done, My Lord!ā
Not long after that, the coachman led the horse and disappeared from the busy street.
My left foot throbbed.
Thereforeā¦..
āSighā¦ā¦ā
If the left foot is stepped on, then the right shall be stepped on too.
So I walked down the street to find the woman who stepped on my left foot.
Thisā¦..
It was something very crucial.
At least, Ferzenās ego seemed to have thought so.
* * * * * * * * * *
On the 15th day of the lunar calendar, the full moon rose.
The moonlight was extremely bright on this date. As those rays of moonlight sparkled scintillatingly, especially on a certain man and woman, each one soaked in their own lunacyā¦.
For the moon, those two individuals seemed particularly important.
